Wonderful! I have a real weakness for jello salads that my children seem to share. This was lovely, not too sweet or heavy. I took the time to finely grate the carrots and was glad I did. While officially a salad, I served this for dessert and the kids ate and enjoyed every bit, never knowing they were eating their veggies. Thanks, Barb, for a delicious recipe!
